This image is an oldie, but it's a favorite of mine that I love to pull out at this time of year.  Prada and Drastic were so young, (They are now about to turn 15 and 14, respectively), Vibe still had all his flowing, Fabio man hair and Elf was trying so hard to behave, while Flea, who was just under 3 months old, and all of 10 pounds, had no idea what stay meant and really didn't care.  We went to Mt Charleston for a short walk and it started snowing.  Luckily I had my camera and 4 dogs who know how to sit still for a minute.

For me, this photo reminds me to enjoy and laugh at all the messy things, because that's pretty much what life is.

As 2021 comes to a close and life has not yet returned to normal, it's hard to not feel frustrated. But, my wish for you is to find happiness in the glorious mess that is life.  Spend time with the people who matter, do the things you love, and have an amazing 2022!

I added a few more outtakes to the above photo session.  I never did get one with Flea looking at the camera. haha
